At Monagle Law and Mediation, we strive to help families transition from being married to not married with the least amount of trauma. We look at the needs of the whole family system and act as problem solvers. In getting to know the parties, we facilitate forming solutions for the future.  This gives control over the outcome of the divorce to the parties rather than to a judge who has never met the parties. Based on the interests and goals of the parties, we work with them to form a settlement agreement as to their parenting time, child and/or spousal support, and their assets either through mediation or through collaborative practice.  We help the parties make reasoned decisions that are practical for their circumstances.  An adversarial courtroom experience can be avoided altogether when the parties are knowledgeable as to their options and the effects of those decisions.

​

The firm strives to achieve a wonderful new beginning for the parties in a civilized way utilizing creative out-of-court processes.  Divorcing parties often seek our services because they are parents. Healthy co-parenting can be achieved when the parties reduce conflict and focus on maintaining their relationships.  Aligning the outcome with the parties' values is important to us.  We hope that our clients can look back and be proud of  the graceful way they ended their marriage as they sit at their child's or grandchild's special celebrations together.
